A DENSITY FUNCTIONAL THEORY STUDY OF COPPER OXIDES NANOWIRES AND CLUSTERS ON ANATASE TiO2 (101) SURFACE FOR PHOTOCATALYTIC WATER SPLITTING
(University of Eldoret, 2018)
Copper oxides deposited at titania surfaces have a bene cial e ect on the photocatalytic
activity of TiO2, particularly water splitting. However, the role of copper oxides and mechanisms
of enhancement remains to be ...
ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY, PHYTOCHEMICAL PROFILE AND CYTOTOXICITY OF SELECTED MEDICINAL PLANTS FOUND IN KAPTUMO DIVISION IN NANDI COUNTY, KENYA
(University of Eldoret, 2014)
In Kenya, medicinal plants have been used by the local people as traditional medicine to treat different human ailments from time immemorial. The efficacy and safety of most of these plants has not been determined hence ...
POTENTIAL OF TEA FACTORY WASTE IN REMOVAL OF SELECTED HEAVY METAL IONS FROM SIMULATED CONTAMINATED WASTE WATER
(University of Eldoret, 2014)
Pollution of water resources has increased with human activities world over and heavy metals are major contaminants. In this study, removal of Cd2+, Cr3+, Cu2+, Pb2+ and Zn2+ ions from simulated contaminated water using ...
ANALYSIS OF THE LEVELS OF SELECTED HEAVY METALS IN THE VICINITY OF A LEAD BATTERIES RECYCLER PLANT IN ATHI-RIVER, KENYA
(University of Eldoret, 2015)
The levels of heavy metals in the environment have been increasing in the recent past as a result of human activities. Since toxicity of heavy metals is widely known, their speciation is increasingly attracting attention. ...
USE OF SLOW SAND FILTRATION TO IMPROVE TREATED EFFLUENT AT BOUNDARY SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT (ELDORET) FOR IRRIGATION
(University of Eldoret, 2014)
Food insecurity in Kenya due to dependence on rainfall, coupled with drying up of rivers and wells during the dry season make it impossible to grow crops throughout the year. These factors have increased the demand on this ...
DETERMINATION OF THE EFFICIENCY OF 17-α METHYLTESTOSTERONE ON SEX REVERSAL OF NILE TILAPIA, OREOCHROMIS NILOTICUS AT DIFFERENT DEVELOPMENTAL STAGES
(University of Eldoret, 2014)
The aim of the study was to determinate the efficiency of 17-α methyltestosterone on sex reversal of Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus at different developmental stages. Fish were seined from Eldoret fish farm and those ...
SOLUTION OF THE NON-LINEAR THIRD ORDER PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION OF A STEADY HYDROMAGNETIC FLOW THROUGH A CHANNEL WITH PARALLEL STATIONARY POROUS PLATES
(University of Eldoret, 2018)
This thesis deals with the solution of the non-linear third order partial differential
equation of a steady hydromagnetic laminar flow of a conducting viscous incompressible
fluid through a channel with two parallel ...
PROPERTIES OF A MIXTURE OF BOSONS AND FERMIONS AT ZERO KELVIN TEMPERATURE
(University of Eldoret, 2016)
Quantum materials reveal unexpected and exotic behavour when subjected to extreme
conditions such as low temperature and/or high pressure. Ultra cold gases provide a
very powerful tool for simulation and study of ...
A DESIGN OF A LOW-REYNOLDS NUMBER AIRFOIL THAT LEADS TO THE FORMATION OF SEPARATION BUBBLES AT THE LEADING EDGE
(University of Eldoret, 2014)
The aerodynamics of airfoils at low Reynolds numbers (Re) has become increasingly important from both fundamental and industrial points of view, due to recent developments in small wind turbines, small unmanned aerial ...
